Eggs with Blood Spots: Fact Check

It’s breakfast time and you are about to make your morning time delicious with a tasty egg dish. You break the egg into a bowl and wait, what? “There is a blood spot in it, how come?”, “Ohh, what do I do now?”, “Should I throw it away or are they safe to consume?”, “I am seeing this for the first time!”

Hold on! Don’t panic. Take out a few minutes to read this article to know why this occurs and if they are safe to eat or not.

Why do they occur?

Blood spots may occur either on egg yolks or egg whites. On the egg yolks, they occur because of the rupturing of the small blood vessels present in the ovaries during the egg-laying process. And they occur on the egg white when bleeding happens after the egg is released into the oviduct. So basically it is quite a natural phenomenon.

How frequent is their occurrence?

Coming across a blood spot is a rare phenomenon. It is such rare that the frequency of its occurrence in the average egg production is less than 1%. Also, ‘egg color’ is a factor in the occurrence of blood spots. It is found that the hens that lay brown eggs have 18% chances of producing blood spots as compared to only 0.5% for hens laying white eggs.

Are they safe to eat?

Yes, they are completely safe to eat. Agencies like the Egg Safety Board have confirmed that they are safe to eat as long as the egg is properly cooked. You can consume it without any fear.

But, if the spots are bothering you, you can simply remove them with a spoon or a knife and jump on over for making a delicious breakfast.
